hey guys, just got my p5110. I'm looking to get rid of this awful touchwiz. Can anyone recommend a lightweight rom that is as AOSP-like as possible? I don't care for root or extra features, just minimalism and getting the most out of a lightweight ROM (e.g. battery, performance)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Android-Andi:
SlimKat or SlimBean.

Maybe Codename Lungo.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
SlimKat if bluetooth no needed, otherwise SlimBean 4.3

Just flash a custom recovery (PhilZ, TWRP) then in recovery mode wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache. Then flash zips of the ROM and compatible addons (GApps) and reboot.

SlimRoms have very beautiful UI with toggleable dark mode. Fast, light, yet with many customizable options. If you don't care for the dark mode or bluetooth, try Omni 4.4x homemade.

Help

hi i got a p5100 device that runs on stock jellybean 4.1.2 and i would just like to know the following

1. Is my bootloader JB since my devices now is updated to 4.1.2 via OTA??

2. Given that my bootloader is not JB do i still need to unlock it to flash custom roms without problems?

3. Does the device region have a significant issue regarding flashing customs roms (omni / cyanogenmod ) ? ... like it might not worth to this specific device though is P5100 but from this region/CSC/PDA etc.. (well samsung does have a couple of devices with different codes )

4. Is there a way to root without using PC?

-- Im not new to rooting and flashing roms, i have done it to my phone which is 2.3.5 GB device not samsung though so i didnt have problems regarding different versions and stuff cause they are all the same....

Hope anyone could help me out i want to flash a custom rom to my tab with less casualties and i want to make sure that i do right to avoid total brick

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113

Can anybody help me out here!!! I am using a Galaxy tab 2 10.1 P5113 and I read a thread saying if you want to use kitkat 4.4.4 use P5110. I flashed the ROM and it works nice but one problem my tab is not charging when i plug it in. Any Solutions!??!!?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Maybe you have an outdated bootloader. What was your last stock firmware, ICS? Did you wipe /system before flashing KitKat?

tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] TunPacalyse:
JB!

but i flashed it to cm-10.1.3-p5110 but i wanted to climb up to cm-11-20150111-NIGHTLY-p5110. and i did but now it is not charging!! :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
I understood that, but you didn't answer me which Android version had your last installed stock firmware before CyanogenMod?

Battery charging has eventually to do with the bootloader.

tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] TunPacalyse:
JB!

Im not sure since i already Flash different rom. but for sure it update from ICS to JB OTA update.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
I'm not sure if OTA system update includes the bootloader as well. JB firmware had no bigger problems with ICS bootloader but KK does.

Verizon Tab 2

I have a Galaxy tab 2 10. verizon and its the worst tab I have ever used. It hangs its glitchy and slow it just sucks. I am traveling this week and hate to say it but Im gonna take my Xoom over the new Galaxy cause the xoom actually functions properly. What should I do to get it worth using? Rom? root?? any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
The problem is its crappy Samsung OS. Its memory and datadata folder get overfilled by the time and make it so slow that it is a real PITA to use it.

We can flash on international Tab 2 10.1" great custom ROMs, so they get smooth and fast.

I fear there isn't much you can do aside of selling it on eBay and buying one with unlocked bootloader.

SlimLP is great, but it isn't for carrier version of the tab 2. It must be a P5110, P5113, P5100, P3110, P3113, or P3100. I don't believe the Verizon version is one of those.

Get an international model, not by an US carrier.

Make a big turn around them as their bootloaders are locked.

This may be a really stupid question (but I couldn't find the answer).

Why have there been exactly zero official releases of Cyanogenmod since 10.1.3? No 10.2.*, no 11-M*, nothing for almost eighteen months now.

And the (obvious) followup question - will there be any official releases of Cyanogenmod 12?

According to me they r busy in making bugs less ROMs with full customisation but Google is releasing updates very soon so they r also trying to update the ROM tooo
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Android-Andi:
No active official device maintainer = no official release builds.

CM11 nightly builds are available,

CM12 seems not to get official soon.

I don't care about official or unofficial builds, only important thing is a dev working on it ;)

Official builds without maintainer might have more bugs. On unofficial builds you can add other workarounds and bugfixis which aren't present in official source.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] n.p.:
Obvioulsly, the quality of the releases trump everything else, but (usually), when an "official" release is made, it means that someone believes that the software can perform certain tasks and has no known "critical" (whatever that means) bugs.

The "nighlies" for this device look more like "weeklies" (in terms of frequency). What would you recommend as an upgrade path (from 10.1.3)? One of the nightlies? Something other than cyanogenmod?

Thanks again.

SOKP Alternate Download Servers Please!

SOKP devs, Your ROM's are awesome! no doubt. But the download speed from the SOKP siteliterally sucks. (apology for my slang being used but this is why you have less number of downloads). The download speed i've been getting were around 10-20 kbps, ending me up with download failed errors:mad: . I request you to please either upload it on mediafire or DropBox (I know i shouldn't have made a request for such a demand which is against xda rules but this is for the betterment of all the users.

The real problem is, that most of guests here understand sharing as downloading for free without ever to consider a donation.

If the developer of your ROM isn't rich, he will preferably choose a file server that at least costs no extra money.

Download speed on such servers is usually great if one buys premium/donating option, what is -again- for most of users out of any consideration.

Need help to unbrick my tab2

My device, Galaxy Tab2 GT-P3100, running on official samsung updates, never rooted, never flashed or done any other software tweeks.

Running normally on JB, found it switched off after i left it on for few hours(around 4 to 5 hrs),

l tried to switch it on but it ws unrespnsive, charged it for few hrs(thought battery drained out) and tried again,

then it powered on but was stuck on "samsung logo screen " and wasnt going further.

Nextday, without trying anything on my own took it to a samsung service center, for fixing the error.

I was told by service center guy that the OS got corrupted need to reinstall, it started fine but after a while it failed. (he was doing it on ODIN )

Now the present status is the tab is stuck on a screen saying

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Keis & Try again"

samsung guy told its failing repeatedly and seems like my device mother board is gone..

What i have done after this:

From my past experinece of rooting an old android device and after reading some forums on internet i got hold of the following things

1.Odin 3 V3.07

2.stock firmware for GT-P3100 for India from sam mobiles:

P3100DDCNA3_P3100ODDCNB1_P3100DDCLK1_HOME.tar.md5

3. installed kies latest version so that my tab drivers would be ready for windows

4. ran the following steps on ODIN

plugged the tab in

selected the firmware file on PDA option

checked only Autoreboot and F.reset Time were selected and nothing else

then pressed start

and Odin failed once but after another try ran for a while and it finally showed "PASS"

but after reboot my device is still stuck on the

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Keis & Try again"

sorry for the long text, tried my best to keep it short

i am hoping someone could help me fix my device,

please correct me if i am doing it wrong and guide me through the right procedure

thanks in advance

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Android-Andi:
connect the tab to your pc. Flash a recovery using Odin or heimdall (yes, it will work on that screen!).

Now directly boot into recovery. Do proper wipes and flash a rom from adb sideload or microsd.

Make sure KIES uninstalled!

You can also flash a proper stockrom using odin instead recovery and custom rom.

Good luck!
